Charlie Rolls

An heroic drama about the man who, in 1910, single handedly undertook a daredevil stunt which successfully convinced a reluctant British Government to invest in the Royal Flying Corps just in time for WWI. Charles Rolls is well known for being one half of the partnership that created the most famous automotive marque in the world, Rolls-Royce. It is less well known that he was also an aviation pioneer, courting the Wright Brothers and using their machine to prove that the Royal Navy would no longer be a viable deterrent to a future enemy from the skies.
